Piano with JOSEPH H.

With my Bachelor's/Master's Degree and 14 years of experience in education, it will be an honor for me to add more to students. *** Lesson Details *** Music study helps people young and old to overcome shyness and build confidence. It empowers them as they refine their special talents. We will study ear training . My Method: Listen, Sing, Clap, Play, Read and Write. With these tools you can look deeper into the elements that make up music. Children don't learn to read before they can talk. So why should anyone have to try to read before they can play? That is how music is taught, traditionally and why a huge percentage of students just quit or have a miserable time with piano lessons. Music should be fun. Period. We will always have a lot of fun, but there is a lot to do, so we need to be efficient and not waste time. My teaching method is a combination of the best methods I have found. It is backed up with the same solid principles that I received when I was a student myself. If you choose to continue and pursue a classical education at a high level, you will be well-prepared. *** Studio Equipment *** (Hardware) dell inspiron n5050 core i3 two dell monitors M-Audio's Fast Track Pro USB Digital Audio Interface (PC and Mac) Amplifier kenwood KR-V126R 2 speakers aiwa 2 speakers Jamo Sennheiser HD 201 Digital monitor audio technica Korg triton Roland Fantom FA 76 Yamaha M Audio Midiman Steel acoustic guitar ½ Steel acoustic guitar tuner Drabouka *** Travel Equipment *** In My Home Studio: 3 digital keyboard in a recording control-room,dell inspiron Korg triton, Krog trinity plus, Yamaha PSS 170 n5050 core i3, two dell monitors, M-Audio's Fast Track Pro USB Digital Audio Interface, Amplafier kenwood KR-V126R 2 speakers aiwa, Sennheiser HD 201, Digital monitor audio technica, Steel acoustic guitar, ½ Steel acoustic, guitar tuner, and Drabouka. In-Home: If you are taking any kind of music lesson, we recommend a tuned piano or digital keyboard. If you like, I can suggest several different models of keyboard that I have researched and of which I approve. *** Specialties *** I teach people of all ages first to play by ear and to have fun while they study. Then I back up ear training with solid theory so they can read and write music. In school I studied many traditional methods and I have distilled my own distinct method from them. Though I am classically trained, I specialize in improvisation.
